Lubbock County adopts Road Commissioner system, reclassifies positions and appoints road director
Summary
Commissioners approved a Road Commissioner System for county road administration, reclassified road department positions and appointed Rashadi Moore as director of consolidated Road & Bridge and county road commissioner.
Lubbock County Commissioners Court on Monday approved a package of changes to the county road administration, including adopting a Road Commissioner System, reclassifying staff positions and appointing a new director of consolidated Road & Bridge.
The court voted to adopt the Road Commissioner System and to move a civil engineer position into the roads department, retitling it director of road and bridge/road commissioner. The court also reclassified another position to assistant director of road and bridge and approved an organizational chart presented by staff.
Commissioner Shaw moved to adopt the Road Commissioner System; Commissioner Daugherty seconded. The motion carried. Commissioner Rackler moved to reclassify and retitle the listed positions; Commissioner Shaw seconded. The motion carried. Commissioner Rackler then moved to appoint Rashadi Moore as director of consolidated Road & Bridge and county road commissioner; Commissioner Shaw seconded and the motion carried.
The changes follow discussion of staffing needs in the roads department earlier in the meeting, where county staff reported open positions, hires (including an equipment operator), and ongoing recruitment for a traffic-control technician. During that report, the department said there were 15 open work orders for unpaved roads and 35 for paved roads; signs had 18 open work orders and parks had eight. The department noted roughly 76 open work orders for routine maintenance and fleet work.
Court members offered brief remarks when confirming the appointment. The new director was present and the court congratulated him.
The court’s actions create a single leadership role for road administration and move technical engineering capacity into the road operations line to align classification and supervisory responsibility. The motions did not reference outside approvals or funding changes beyond the internal reclassifications and organizational chart.
The court adjourned following a series of other agenda items and meeting notices.
